Nico - Sphinx of Ice
64
Nico, born Christa Päffgen in Cologne, Germany just before the outbreak of the Second World War is one of the most mythic icons of our time. She was the supermodel who became Andy Warhol’s most notorious muse and the singer of legendary American rock band Velvet Underground. She had a troublesome love story with Jim Morrison and gave her son his first shot. She was a nomad, always on her way to Paris, London, or New York and stood in the center of the sixties’ art revolution. In "Nico – Sphinx of Ice", we are taken on a journey through the psyche of the broken and unbreakable sixties’ icon.
